“It cannot be decided in the basis of the church’s need or an individual’s urge or any of the sociological or humanistic arguments put forth by those who seek to liberate. It has to do with things vastly more fundamental and permanent, and the meaning of womanhood is one of these things. We have something to respond to, something that directs and calls and holds us, and it is in obedience to the command that we will find our full freedom.” ~ Elizabeth Elliot {Let Me Be A Woman}
Thanks for sharing it! I was intrigued to go and find the rest of the quote :) I haven't read the book but I've heard lots about it so I think I'll have to find myself a copy and read it.
Here is a quote I found and really liked!
